Aberdeen Test Centres and Pass Rates

Aberdeen North is a little below average at 48% and takes longer, at about 4 months. Both are in the same city, so picking South is a genuine option if the roads are familiar to you. Automatic tests are weaker at both, at 41% and 42% against a national automatic pass rate of 45%.
